Hamed. Fun as hell to watch.
Mine is Pacquiao.
Fought everyone. Every fight was great. He always fought hard, never played it safe.
Won belts all the way from 112 to 150 pounds.
Incredible.
My favorite bout.
Margarito was a known scumbag. Talking shit about Manny and his trainer with low blows.
Had come off wins against Cotto, Kermit Not The Frog Citron and Clottey. Caught using cement or something or other in his gloves. Dirty fighter.
Manny barely weighed enough to take the fight. WITH NO CUT. Margarito cut massive weight.
HUGE size difference.
Manny was the underdog.
Manny didn’t talk shit. Instead he let his fists do the talking and beat the ever living fuck out of Margarito.
Carmen Basilio
Why?
Consistent badass. arguably beat Ray Robinson twice. Grew up on an onion farm. Was by all accounts a standup dude for the era.
Was completely with it throughout old age. Was doing interviews in his 80’s talking about fights like they happened yesterday.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Epitome of tough. Involved in several of the best fights in history with his fight versus Hearns being the most exciting fight I’ve ever watched.
Roy Jones got me into combat sports. Best pure athlete to ever step in a boxing ring.
A friend of a friend fought RJJ.
He said his whole life he was faster than everyone he ever fought. Then he fought RJJ and was too slow to do anything against Roy.
Mine is Manny as well. He had such a beautiful offensive style, always in his rhythm. It was a pleasure to watch him.
Thomas “The Hit Man” Hearns.
I’m a Detroiter so I have to go with my man.
Him hitting the heavybag is the fastest I’ve ever seen
Speed and power is relentless when he’s letting his hands go
